I really wanted to get a smart lock because my husband, despite us living in a major city, would constantly leave the door unlocked. Even with a Tile Mate Key Finder, Phone Finder, 4-pack on his keychain, he would lose or misplace his keys and end up propping open the backdoor in lieu of having to find or carry them.I researched heavily leaning towards locks that converted your existing deadbolts like the more affordable but limited Kwikset Kevo Convert Smart Lock Conversion Kit in Satin Nickel, which I received free from Amazon Vine, and the similarly priced but also limited (works with a very limited list of existing deadbolts) August Smart Lock (2nd Gen) - Keyless home access - Control with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit or your smartphone (Dark Gray) but both had very mixed reviews and my locksmith said that everyone he had installed the August lock for had either LOVED it or hated it. No in-between.Consumer Reports gave a high rating to the Z-wave version of this lock (New Model) Schlage Connect Camelot Touchscreen Deadbolt with Z-wave Technology and Extra Key BE468-2K (Aged Bronze), which requires a separate hub whereas the 3rd generation Apple TV can act as your hub for the Sense if you already have one. By default, Consumer Reports recommends the Sense because it is the same lock but the Z-wave Connect works with the Alexa while the Sense and Apple TV work with Siri.I have issues with my motor skills and know nothing about locks so I had my locksmith install the Schlage Sense so I can't speak to how easy or difficult it is to install this as a layperson. I can speak to how easy it was to set up on my phone. Within minutes, I could access the lock via my iPhone and Siri was locking and unlocking my front door. Meanwhile the Kwikset Kevo Convert Smart Lock Conversion Kit in Satin Nickel I had installed on my backdoor was buggy and had all sorts of issues, not to mention the cheap batteries that came with it and were practically dead on arrival. I had to install the Kevo and uninstall it several times and I still get "bolt jam" errors when I use it now and again. Not to mention that because it's bluetooth, the range is limited and at $99 for Kevo Plus for remote access, it's already at the same price-point as the Schlage Sense..I found the Schlage app much easier to navigate and not as buggy as Kevo's. I also already had the latest generation Apple TV so I could very quickly start remote locking and unlocking my front door. This is one of my favorite features. I love that I can also make sure remotely that the door has been locked after I leave or when someone else leaves home. Of course, the auto-lock functions also helps insured my door is locked and this can be set from 15 seconds to up to 4 minutes. It was also very easy to set up access codes for my husband and my housekeeper and set up temporary access codes (you can schedule when they start working and when they stop working) for my handyman so he could come in my house to do repairs when I wasn't home.Other nice features are the 1-touch locking. You can press on the Schlage name above the touchscreen and tada, the door is locked automatically. You can also decide if the touchscreen has a "keypress beep" and as I mentioned before, how long the auto lock delay is as well as choose between disabling the built-in alarm, having the lock beep when the door is opened/closed and setting an alarm if there's forced entry and for the latter decide how sensitive you want it to be.My husband is very pleased using his iPhone or the touchscreen to open the front door. I haven't used the touchscreen once and use Siri exclusively to open my front door as I walk towards it from the car. We are both pretty pleased with our purchased. It is great having the lock come up on our Apple Homekit along with all our other smart devices, including the Philips 464503 Hue White and Color A19 LED Bulb, 3rd Generation with Richer Colors for IOS and Android and Philips 461020 Hue White Ambiance Single A19 Bulb, Works with Amazon Alexa and Elgato Eve Energy (NEW), Switch & Power Meter with Apple HomeKit Technology, Bluetooth Low Energy.I know it's too much to ask probably but I wish it worked with Alexa. We did have a funny interaction with Siri where we asked her to "open the door" and she heard "find a whore." She couldn't find any in our area. With Schlage Sense, Siri is your key and a touchscreen and regular key act as pretty good backups. We use a key now only on the Shabbos or Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath) when we can't use our phones or the electronic touchscreen to open our door.For our front door, we ended up getting the Matte Black Century Trim but I think the Antique Bronze would have been a better style for our dark brown door as the door has more of a classic look and the lighter gray touchscreen panel clashes a little. While the Matte Black and Century look exactly as pictured, the Antique Bronze looks nothing like the photo here or on any of the websites or even the packaging in comes in! The touchscreen background is actually black/brown NOT that garish "baby poop" brown (see photo). In person, the Antique Bronze actually looks exactly like the Antique Bronze version of the Connect seen here Schlage Connect Camelot Touchscreen Deadbolt with Built-In Alarm. My in-laws got the Schlage Sense in Antique Bronze after my recommendation and kept their existing handle set of a similar color. For our backdoor and back house, we got the Satin Nickel finish for our white doors. We got those severely discounted, as 1) this finish is regularly the cheapest and Build.com was selling them refurbished by the manufacturer at $144 a pop. The handle sets were also cheaper at Build.com.
